One of tho most daring train robberies
which has ever occurred in Toxas was perpe-
trated recently near Scheulenburg, on tho
Southern Pacific road. AS the train drew up
to the station two men with drawn revolvers
mounted the locomotive and forced the en-
gineer 10 pull the train to the open prairie 200
yards east, whore fire was burning, and
around which stood eight or ten men, all
armed. Tho two robbers on the engine stood
guard over the engineer, while the others went
through the mail, express and passenger cars.
Nearly all of the passengers were asleep and
unaware of what was going on. All the pas
sengers were relieved of what valuables they
possessed, the value of which was estimated
to be about $1,000. The Wells-Fargo express
car was gone through, but the amount of
money taken is not known Through mail
pouches in the express car were cut open and
the contents appropriated The total amount
secured by the robbers is placed at from
$4,000 to $4,000.
